The application pool user is a member of IIS_WPG and IIS_WPG has full
access to the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" folder.

No ASP.NET impersonation is set up.

When the home directory is on the local machine, the site works OK.
However, when the home directory is on the network share (within the
domain, via DFS), we get the above error.

If I give access to IUSR to the folder, it works, but I don't
udnerstand why, since I have not set impersonation - and I would have
thought anyway that the application pool would do it's housekeeping
(creating temporary files, etc) as itself.

I would have expected that, if there was an error accessing content on
a remote share, then this would cause an access error on the content,
not the temporary files.
